The drive for automotive innovation

Automotive & Transportation

Sustainable automotive solutions

Metal powder innovation that can transcend the rapidly evolving demands of the automotive and transportation industries.

As the automotive and transportation industries continue their journey towards a greener, smarter and brighter future, we see metal powder technology at the forefront of this progressive era.

Höganäs is building strong partnerships with automotive manufacturers, not only providing premium metal powder, but also fulfilling a range of application requirements. Our solutions enhance performance, help meet sustainability objectives and support electrification.

Cost-efficient powder metallurgy for a growing variety of pressed and sintered vehicle parts remains at the heart of what we do. But Höganäs is also pioneering metal powder for additive manufacturing in this sector, developing functional prototypes and spare components.

Our ambition is to grow the range of applications that can benefit from metal powder technology, opening up a new world of opportunities for a more cost-efficient and sustainable future in automotive and transportation manufacturing.

Our main areas of expertise

Know-how and experience of the automotive industry, its challenges, application requirements and production processes.

Automotive applications

The automotive industry is a driver for material innovation and its applications of metal powders are growing day by day.

Securing lighter weight, superior performance and enhanced durability, our solutions can be used in everything from small parts to larger components with more complicated shapes. Combining cost-efficiency and innovation, they also help support automotive electrification.

Imagine a total metal powder car

Sintered components are already widely used in modern transmission and engine systems. But metal powders are also ideal for techniques such as brazing, thermal surfacing and additive manufacturing.

With our soft magnetic composites solutions we will help you meet the increasing demand for cost-efficient electromagnetic applications in electric vehicles and hybrid cars.

In the AutoExplorer app, you can see just a few car systems where metal powders help to make a difference.

The advantage of helical gears in PM

Helical gears are used in geared applications that require higher contact ratio for noise and stress reduction. Using PM technology, helical angles of up to 36 degrees have been achieved in series production. Very advanced gear body geometries can be designed and net or near net shape compacted. This enables weight reduction as well as addition of other features such as splines, part number identification, design for assembly features etc.

All of this is achieved without any machining. PM, a considered green technology, thus opens up opportunities to lower the per unit cost and to add value.

Metal powders contribute to sustainable development

Metal powder technology provides endless opportunities; not only does it enable our customers to reduce their material and energy consumption, but it also helps them use new and better techniques that make final products more efficient and less expensive.

We believe that the inherent power of metal powders can be utilised to a much larger extent than it is today. We are also convinced that metal powders can contribute to sustainable development. With metal powder solutions, we can contribute to solving many of society’s pressing challenges, such as resource scarcity, shortage of clean water and the need for renewable energy.

"We inspire the industry to make more with less because we want to create a sustainable world for future generations."

Inspire industry to make more with less

By utilising the endless opportunities of our metal powders, we know that we can lead a wave of change for the better. With people at every level of our organisation dedicated to redefining what is possible, we continue to amaze the world with new breakthroughs.
